Moleskine
Week 0 of Iron Pax delivered a gut check. The Tellier WOD is no joke — if your legs weren’t on fire, you’re probably not human.

The grind of burpees, merkins, lunges, sit-ups, and squats under shuttle-run fatigue was a brutal reminder of what sacrifice feels like in the smallest of ways.

When you’re tempted to quit or wish you had music blasting to push you through, remember — those this WOD honors didn’t get the choice to quit. They leaned into the hard. We honor them by finishing the reps, staying the course, and giving all we’ve got.

Shoutouts
– :clap: <@U5CVD8D7V> & <@U0603USPHAS> – came out on top today with strong finishes.
– :fire: The Machine (<@U19FA0Q8Z>) – strictest form in the lot, ensuring every rep was to standard. No shortcuts, no compromise.
– :raised_hands: <@U01JUGK82TY> – thanks for the opportunity to lead and set the tone.

COT / Takeaway
Steadfastness doesn’t come easy. It’s built under strain, in the moments when you want to stop but don’t. Today’s work was a small reminder of the cost others paid for our freedom — and the standard we’re called to uphold in return.

Prayers
:pray: For loved ones gone too soon.
:pray: For marriages — to be strengthened and rooted in faith.
:pray: For children as they grow into adulthood.
:pray: For the grace, gratitude, and discernment to ride the highs and endure the storms.

Do the hard things. Honor the sacrifice. Be the man your community needs.

Solid start to a Sunday

Leave a comment

Rucked up and headed out down through gold hill schools and up past light poles to Walmart parking and left onto stonecrest. Turned around at 30min.

Finished close to 3.8miles.

Solid mumble chatter and fellowship – great way to start a Sunday

Alcatraz OG’s

Leave a comment

Warmup with a short mosey, windmills, imperial walkers, merkins, plank stretches, and then off to the hill.

Modified Dora: using the top half of the hill.

  • Half the group does big boy sit-ups, half the group runs a lap. Flip flop.
  • Round 2:  Flutters for two laps.  Flip flop.
  • Round 3: LBC’s for three laps.  Flip flop.

A few rounds of step ups on the backstop benches, with a set of dips and a set of decline merkins.

Over to the wall where we had the opportunity to sit against the wall while taking turns critiquing both technique and form during individual bear crawls.

Q swap, and Jekyll took us straight to the Wheel-o-pain.  Credit and respect to Funhouse!
Everyone completed at least two full rounds of the wheel performing exercises at each spoke, lunge or bear crawls to the hub,  for 5 burpees and mosey tot he next spoke.  #brutal.

Thanks @Masterpiece for the opportunity to lead.

Praise for all of our blessings, including this community of men. Prayers for marriages, those sick, injured, or struggling, and those supporting them.

Whats the point of this

Leave a comment

Sometimes I wonder if a ‘backblast’ is important. Yes, I can here the admins now screaming their doctoral rhetoric at their phone screens. ‘Its for new guys to get ideas’, ‘Its to share with people that weren’t there’, ‘Its to get our name plugged into the all powerful algorithm and track our stats.’

I kinda think its BS. When F3 started we didn’t have any of this crap. Not to say change is bad (or good), but to say are we missing the point. F3 isn’t about any of the things we are told to use a backblast for. That’s one of the things I always loved about Indian Land, the fact you wont find any record of it anywhere. But we, and you know who we are, what we were about, and the legend was born.

I suggest this. If you are gonna right a backblast, tell me something I cant find on YouTube. If I need a workout, that’s easy to find. I want the meat. What was your challenge, mentally. Who did you push. Did the PAX overcome. Did you grow as a leader.

Are you forging your legacy?

If you want to know what we do at my workouts, then show up. Otherwise just know we will be there sharpening our steel. Ill call impossible tasks not for the physical work, but to test your mind and fortitude. And just know I WILL be right there with you. Good or Bad, BC is here to stay.

I’m sure Ill get kicked out of F3 for these statements

Well well well, everyone wants to #expandeast. So hows that going? JK, I dont care. Birdcage is here to solve your expansion problems and Im bringing an Indian Land attitude with it. Im calling on all the greats to re-join me and make our side of town the pride of F3 it once was. Mothership, pssssh….. Minnow Pond, light work. People used to shutter at the thought of posting at an Indian Land workout. Think you can handle it? Or do you have a moderate workout to attend somewhere?

Im going to revamp Bushwood starting Wednesday 8/27. Your going to be there for the launch. Think youve seen everything there is at F3, Ill prove you wrong. New challanges, new ideas, and a new attitude.
